Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems, methods and devices for assisting with testing automated industrial process routines. The addition of a software automation object to a test execution user interface may be received. The software automation object may be added to the test execution user interface from a software object library comprising a plurality of software objects. Each of the software automation objects may include an automated control device layer, a human machine interface layer, and a testing layer. A request to initiate an operational test of the software automation object in the test execution user interface may be received. Upon receiving the request, the operational test may be executed, and test results for the operational test of the automation software object may be displayed on the test execution user interface.

Abstract: A system is configured to receive a first selection of a first object corresponding to a first portion of computer code that defines a first operation of a first industrial automation device from a library, receive a second selection of a second object corresponding to a second portion of computer code that defines a second operation of a second industrial automation device from the library, and generate an industrial automation project code file. Generating the industrial automation project code file includes modifying the first portion of computer code to enable the first industrial automation device to operate in conjunction with the second industrial automation device, modifying the second portion of computer code to enable the second industrial automation device to operate in conjunction with the first industrial automation device, and combining the modified first portion of computer code and the modified second portion of computer code.

Abstract: A method includes accessing a shared industrial automation project file, creating a local copy of an industrial automation project file representative of the shared industrial automation project file on a storage component accessible by the one or more processors, receiving, via a graphical user interface (GUI), an input indicative of one or more modifications to the local copy of the industrial automation project file, implementing the one or more modifications to the local copy of the industrial automation project file based on the input, identifying one or more differences between the local copy of the industrial automation project file and the shared industrial automation project file, wherein the one or more differences are associated with the one or more modifications, and presenting a notification indicative of the one or more differences between the local copy of the industrial automation project file and the shared industrial automation project file.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems, methods and devices for facilitating object-based industrial automation control. An automation control library comprised of a plurality of objects may be maintained in association with one or more industrial automation applications. Code defining the execution of an industrial automation process may be received. A plurality of objects in the object library for implementing the industrial automation control process may be identified. The plurality of identified objects may be matched to one or more hardware components based on one or more operational requirements included in the code, and available hardware resources for performing the automation control process.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems, methods and devices for facilitating object-based cross-domain industrial automation control. An object library comprising a plurality of objects may be maintained. One or more of the objects may represent physical counterparts for use in an industrial automation process. Each object of the plurality of objects in the object library may have at least one property that an automated control device operation can be programmed to act on. Each object of the plurality of objects may also have at least one property that a human machine interface component can utilize in generating display elements corresponding to the objects for display on the human machine interface. When modifications to objects in the object library are received, those modifications may be automatically deployed and incorporated in controller logic and HMI graphics and control.

Abstract: A system includes a processor and a memory accessible by the processor. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive an industrial automation project code file, wherein the industrial automation project code file defines one or more operations of an industrial automation system during performance of an industrial automation process, retrieve a set of industrial automation rules associated with a set of best practices for project code files, analyze the industrial automation project code file based on the set of industrial automation rules, including identifying one or more instances of inefficient tag usage, and identifying one or more sets of parallel overlapping tasks, and generate a report based the analysis of the industrial automation project code file based on the set of industrial automation rules.

Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) for designing and monitoring an industrial automation system presents an alert based on a condition of an object corresponding to a respective industrial automation device displayed on the GUI. The GUI generates one or more suggestions for resolving the alert, including referencing a historical data set, parsing the historical data set to identify one or more previous instances in which the condition of the object occurred and was successfully resolved, and identifying one or more respective remedial actions taken in each of the one or more identified previous instances to resolve the condition. The GUI presents the one or more remedial actions as the one or more suggestions for resolving the alert, receives an input selecting one of the one or more remedial actions, and implements the selected remedial action.
